I usually always get a cold this time of year. Usually go in and get a cortisone shot and I'm all good. This year I have had cold symptoms for about 3 weeks now and I've had a shot and a round of antibiotics. Still dealing with a stuffy nose, sinus pressure, and a sore throats at times.

Yep. I was trying to work through it last week but it finally kicked my arse on Sunday. Didn't move the entire day.

Im so glad I have a bad arse immune system. I'm literally never sick. I don't think I've taken 3 sick days in my life. The only days I missed from birth to graduation was for a family vacation.

I truly feel bad for the friends of mine who are legitimately sick 2-3 times every year.

I had a real cold 2-3 weeks ago, then GF got one, now I'm on day 3-4 of a stuffy nose. I don't feel "sick" like I do when I get a bad cold, I just can't fricking breathe.

I hardly every get sick (once a year at the most), but I had a cold/allergy combo for about 5 weeks straight that I just got over. It was pretty miserable.

I'm on my 3rd week. Upper respiratory cough and sinus troubles. I never get sick and average a cold every several years or so. I never have sinus issues. This shite sucks.

Round of antibiotics


Not working because you likely don't have a bacterial infection. The overuse/misuse of antibiotics in this country is ridiculous.

Yeah cold for a week, cough/congestion going on about 3 weeks now slowly resolving. Was so bad the first couple of weeks I couldn't hear well and lost my sense of taste for a few days.


Talked to a lot of people with the same or similar but all very stubborn cases.
